Lindsey Hardin, left, and Samantha Santoski walk through "inversion", a sculpture by Dan Havel and Dean Ruck, Wednesday, May 4, 2005, in Houston. Havel and Ruck are transforming two Art League houses into a funnel-like vortex between two houses, where the exterior skin of the home will be peeled back beginning on the west wall and narrowed into a narrowing spiral that ends on the east wall.
